FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
March 12, 2005
Hidden Gems (METROPOLIS, IL) is thrilled to announce that our pal, WWE Hall-of-Famer Jerry "The King" Lawler, will be appearing at Hidden Gems during this year’s Superman Celebration weekend, happening June 13th–15th!
Jerry's Connection to "Superman"
Jerry "The King" Lawler, a legendary professional wrestler, has a notable connection to Superman through his involvement with the comic book world. In 1997, Lawler famously appeared in an episode of the animated Superman: The Animated Series. He voiced the character of Jimmy Olsen's "Wrestling Buddy," a superhero-like character who was part of a storyline that humorously combined Lawler's wrestling persona with the world of Superman.
Additionally, Lawler is known for his longstanding connection to comic books and pop culture, often referencing or incorporating superhero themes into his wrestling career. However, the most prominent connection is his appearance in the Superman: The Animated Series, which solidified his link to the iconic superhero.
This blend of Lawler's larger-than-life wrestling persona with the fantastical world of Superman made for a unique and memorable crossover for both comic book and wrestling fans alike.(1)
Don’t miss your chance to meet "The King" himself, grab a photo, and get an autograph during this epic weekend in Metropolis! We’re always happy to have Jerry return and be part of the festivities.
Jerry will appear exclusively at Hidden Gems in Metropolis IL.
